From initial consultation to post-installation, we do our best to help you during every stage of the process. It’s a process made of simple elements, but they’re elements that make all the difference and guarantee better service and a better stair.
A Legacy in Every Step: The Paragon Story
From the shores of Lake Erie to homes across the nation.
1947
The Foundation in Erie
In the post-war industrial boom of Erie, Pennsylvania, Paragon Stairs begins its journey. Founded on the principles of American grit and "over-built" structural integrity, we started as a local shop dedicated to mastering the art of steel fabrication.
1960s – 1970s
Perfecting the Spiral
As modern architecture demanded smarter uses of space, Paragon became the authority on the spiral staircase. We spent these decades perfecting the engineering that allows a staircase to be both a compact utility and a high-design centerpiece.
1990s
The Expansion of Material
Recognizing that every home has a different soul, Paragon expanded beyond industrial steel. We integrated premium hardwoods and sleek aluminum into our designs, becoming a one-stop shop for architects looking for "Erie-tough" durability with high-end finishes.
2013
A Strategic Move to Collegeville, Pennsylvania
To better serve our national customer base and integrate with a modern logistics network, Paragon moved its headquarters to Collegeville, Pennsylvania. This move allowed us to expand our footprint, modernize our facility, and tap into a new generation of design and engineering talent while keeping our manufacturing strictly "PA-Made."
2016
Industry Disruptors: The National Floating Stair
Paragon changed the architectural landscape by becoming the first manufacturer to introduce the floating staircase to a nationwide audience. We broke the barrier that kept these minimalist masterpieces reserved for high-end builds, engineering a system that made the "floating look" accessible, shippable, and DIY-friendly for homes across the country.
Today
The Future of the Modern Home
Now operating out of our world-class Collegeville facility, Paragon Stairs is the leading name in custom stair systems. We combine 75+ years of legacy knowledge with 21st-century design precision and manufacturing technology, ensuring that every step we build is as perfect as the first one we forged in 1947.
Our Mission
To transform our customers' architectural visions into reality by engineering premium staircase and railing systems defined by American craftsmanship and uncompromising quality.
Values
The Values That Move Us
Our values are the foundation of every step we build.
Uncompromising Safety
Safety isn't an "added feature" at Paragon—it is the core of our engineering. Every design is vetted by our in-house engineering team to ensure it doesn't just look beautiful but meets the highest standards of structural integrity. We build stairs we would trust our own families to climb.
Radical Innovation
We didn’t become the first to offer nationwide floating stairs by following the status quo. We value the "what if." By marrying 75 years of metal fabrication experience with modern technology, we push the boundaries of what a staircase can be.
American Craftsmanship
From the first spark in Erie in 1947 to our precision manufacturing in Collegeville today, we are committed to being American Made. We value the skill of our local welders, the precision of our designers, and the quality of Pennsylvania steel.
Consultative Partnership
Turning a "vision" into "reality" requires a bridge. We don't just sell kits; we provide expertise. We value clear communication and a collaborative design process, ensuring our customers are supported from the first CAD drawing to the final bolt.
Integrity in Every Weld
We stand behind what we build. This is why we offer the industry’s only Limited Lifetime Warranty on metal fabrication. Our value is simple: if we put the Paragon name on it, it’s built to last a lifetime.
